Omega Genève Dynamic with Roman Numerals

Hi! New to the forum and I'm just looking for a little advice on the valuation of my Omega Genève Dynamic. I purchased my Genève in 1984 for $35 at a watch shop that was going out of business. I believe that watch was manufactured in the mid to late 70's. I have had my Omega cleaned and reconditioned every 5-6 years and I usually wear it once a week, keeping it on a watch winder the rest of the time.

Recently I took the Genève in to have the winding stem repaired. The watch smith told me he had only seen one other Genève Dynamic with a Roman numeral dial face in the 50 years he has been in business. Curious, I ran a Google image search and found a website that recently sold an identical Omega Genève Dynamic with Roman numerals, characterized as "rare" by the seller. Of course any seller will try to enhance the appeal of a timepiece by describing it as rare, but between this ad and my watchsmith's comments, I wonder if anyone can tell me if I indeed have a rare Genève?



And yes, my Omega is overdue for a cleaning and polishing...

It is a 166.0175 and is a genuine variation of available models. It might be rare in the sense that it was probably not the most popular variant of this model. There are quite a lot of rare models about but it doesn't always equal valuable.

i don't think those hands are original, here's mine i purchased a few years ago NOS at the time

Not really rare, and a feature of the later 10xx models. It looks great on the wrist. Worth noting the your movement is a fast beat and if not lubricated (serviced) around every five years wear of movement parts can be extreme.

Cheers
